Kinda stupid question, but is heir a grip that is best for my mouse? I was a palm gripper before I got into gaming a few months ago, but I am switching from fingertip to claw to palm.

It is hard to say since its upto personal preference and what feels most comfortable for the person.
I personally rotate between palm and claw depending on what game I'm playing. I manly use Palm for most games but if I need the extra agility in some FPSs I use a claw like grip

I use whatever grip is ideal for the mouse I am using at the time, when I had a diamonback I did a fingertip/claw hybrid, with the g500 i did a palm/claw hybrid and with my DA I palm grip it. It really depends on the mouse and whats comfortable to you , there is no best way to hold a mouse.

Best grip for your mouse? That all depends what mouse your using. Some are specifically made for certain grip types and can't be used any other way. So you should buy a mouse that is built to your preferred grip type.

As with sensitivity, its all preference. Some mice feel better with certain grips than others.
